Cap Carbon: Our National Climate Strategy
Our national climate strategy unites climate, energy and the economy. Our goal is to win a cap on global warming pollution.
We're mobilizing legislators, strategic partners and grassroots groups to continue our success in the House of Representatives and build support in the Senate for a carbon cap.
